The Beach
January 6, 2010
Ocean. Wild yet calm.
Carries broken dreams away.
Slurred promises too.
Waves. Roll to the shore.
Crashing like a failing heart.
Soapy, salty, slick.
Sand. Painfully soft.
Just like an empty canvas.
Waiting for imprints.
Sky. Endlessly blue.
Sucks us into nothingness.
And spits us back out.
Summer. When we wake.
And hide our dreadful past.
Beneath perfection.
